Exploring Martian Life through Shibastra Theory: Past and Present Scenarios.

Abstract

Abstract- The Shibastra Theory, a novel framework for predicting life on exoplanets, is applied to Mars' past and present environments, revealing intriguing insights into the Red Planet's habitability. By analyzing factors like spectral environment, habitat constraints and biotic adaptations,I calculate my invented Shibastra thory of Shibastra Index (SI) for Mars during different time periods: 876-1200 (early Mars), 1201-2026 (present Mars). The results suggest Mars' SI has fluctuated over time, indicating possible extremophilic life in the past and present. Specifically, my calculations indicated a higher SI (1.2) for early Mars, implying a more hospitable environment for life, whereas the present SI (0.6) suggests a more challenging, yet still possible, scenario for extremophilic life. This study explores the implications of Shibastra Theory on Martian habitability, potential biosignatures and the likelihood of life on the Red Planet. I discuss the significance of Mars' changing environment, the role of water and the potential for subsurface life. By applying the Shibastra Theory, i aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of Martian astrobiology and guide future exploration efforts.
